How to conduct Training without any Training Aid?



As training industry is becoming one of the prime career, many are
attracted towards it because of the respect it earns as a profession.
However , i have seen fresh trainers are more dependent on PPT,
training aids and games and facilitators guide,Laptop,pen drive, LCD
Projector, insufficient training space at venue etc.

If due to some technical fault or logistics error if any of the above
training aids are not present in training room then some trainers
loose their control,get restless,frustated and scared on how to
conduct the trainings as per planned session flow.

Request to Trainers forum to add valuable inputs on this issue to help
our training fraternity.

Here are few tips .

1.Preperation in advance would make the training successful.
2. Do not be totally dependent on System.
3. If its your first / first few trainings, take printouts of PPT.
4. Classify one singe page in various columns,boxes and write
examples,stories,case studioes, some statistical figures if required,
jokes,icebreakers, for every planned activity you must have one
alternative which could be carried out without any training aid.
5. Look for resources  around training room, think innovatively and
create some instantaneous training aids which matches your training
objectives.
6 . Create two assistants from the group itself to help you out.
7.Start the session with note , constraints are there, lets take this
session as example how to overcome constraints and still justify the
session flow and learning objectives.
8. Never ever complain to participants about others mistakes, your
credibility as a trainer will be lost.
